Board of Directors
About the Cypress Christian School Board
The CCS Board of Directors provides CCS with overall direction and ensures the President fulfills the mission of the school. To accomplish this, the Board meets regularly with the President, the board’s one employee, to monitor and set overall school policy.

CCS Board Philosophy
The school follows the Policy Governance Model established by Dr. John Carver. Policy Governance dictates that the board’s job is to decide the “ends” and the President’s job is to work with employees to interpret and achieve more specific definitions of the board’s ends. This approach reduces the mountains of paperwork boards often feel obliged to review and allows members to focus on their servant leadership role.
